Some Post Offices Closing Early New Year’s Eve
All Post Offices will be open Dec. 31, but some will shorten lobby hours New Year’s Eve. Regular mail delivery for Dec. 31 will be unaffected by the change.
Many businesses close early New Year’s Eve, and the number of customers visiting Post Office lobbies greatly diminishes. As such, Post Offices in some locations will close retail operations early Dec. 31.
Revised hours will be posted at each Post Office. To obtain the phone number of a specific Post Office, customers may call 1-800-ASK-USPS. Commercial customers are asked to check with their Bulk Mail Acceptance Unit for Dec. 31 hours of operation.
Noon will be the last collection for Dec. 31 processing for mail that is deposited in Postal Service collection boxes and office building lobby receptacles.
Post Offices will be closed Jan. 1. Express Mail will be delivered New Year’s Day and regular mail delivery will resume Jan. 2.

what if you are a full time window clerk and they are closing the window at your office?

This had an adverse effect on what offices did stay open. With so many offices closing half day it caused an onslaught on customers to come to the few that were open.
Not realizing the influx of customers due to this closing half day effort, those that did remain open were poorly staffed.
Personally I think it was a poorly thought out.
Not to mention I lost 4 hours of pay.
